Friends of Dennis Senior Citizens

We support the town of Dennis council on aging (coa) by: 1. Making direct unrestricted grants to them 2. Purchasing furniture and computer equipment for them to use in their activities for the seniors of Dennis 3. Providing direct financial assistance for medical alarms, and other living expenses to individual seniors who are referred to us by the coa. 4. Paying for two needy individuals to attend the coa's "golden age group" (an adult day care program) at coa's request.

We provided services directly to individual seniors of the town of Dennis that included: 1. Holiday gift bags were given to 130 Dennis Senior shut-ins in december 2017. These bags included 19 wrapped gifts (e.g. Toiletries, cookies, candies, energy efficient light bulbs, calendars, etc.) 2. We issued quarterly newsletters that included information on various benefits that may be available to our seniors and describe safety precautions they should take for their wellbeing. 3. We provided one needy Senior citizen with a lifeline medical alert system. 4. In march we distributed arrays of flowers to elder services "meals on wheels" Senior Citizens in Dennis.

We provided grants to five other 501(c)(3) organizations that also provide assistance to Senior Citizens in the town of Dennis.
